We've been using Novogene. Good data and quick turnaround for regular worm RNA seq, but the low input takes a while. I am also curious about BioState AI, they may be faster for low input. Has any one tried them for C. elegans or low input samples?

3/n
We are excited people are using the tool and it would be super to get feedback from the community!!

2/n
Current planned updates:
-new gene annotations based on published work
-option for custom background list
-options for false discovery rate calculations
-making it more intuitive to do batch runs
-cleaning up the SGV files and output directory structures, adding unique names for each file.

1/n Fellow C elegans enthusiasts!

For those of you using WormCat for RNA seq pathway analysis, we are working on the 3.0 version. Comments on annotations/website welcome. Either PM here or let's talk at the Worm meeting in Davis. #Worm25 #celegans

Awesome opportunity -- both project and lab!

The first year the worm meeting was in LA, I dragged the rest of the lab to the tar pits! Super cool spot.

This meeting covers biochemistry, mol biology and physiological impacts of lipid biology. It is also very friendly to model organism people: lots of yeast, 🪱s, 🪰s! Tony Futerman (Weizmann) and Meng Wang (Janelia) are the keynote speakers. Great interactions are the norm and hope to see you there!

Hi Everyone! I would like to put a plug in for those of you interested in lipid metabolism for this Gordon Conference:
www.grc.org/molecular-an.... July 2025, Waterville Valley, NH.

In the past two days, all hiring and discretionary spending on my campus has been frozen. Layoffs / furloughs expected soon. The entire incoming first year Ph.D. student class had their offers rescinded. Public medical schools are especially vulnerable to these wanton attacks on science.
#IamNotOK

We are READY for #standupforscience.bsky.social Boston!

Wonderful OpEd piece from @sean-ryder-music.bsky.social!

@steeltownworms.bsky.social posted problems earlier. OK here at UMASS.

Super to see this! Can't wait wade into the data.

Awesome to collaborate with @millerlab.bsky.social!

Please check out Xuhang's exciting article in MSB!

Wow, thanks Leslie!

(2/2) Our lab is in a new building at UMASS Med where we have a new metabolomics core and interact with other labs working on worms, mammalian metabolism, chromatin and cancer at UMASS Med. www.amywalkerlab.com

(1/2) We have an immediate postdoctoral opening in the Walker lab at UMASS Chan Med School in Worcester MA. If you are interested in aging and stress, metabolism and tissue specific gene expression or chromatin patterns, DM Amy for more information. You don’t have to be a worm person to apply!
